It's been a while since I've posted. The post-festival let-down is in full swing. There's not much special to see and do, the weather is still quite hot (35°C - 94°F for an afternoon high), and the "dust" is thick.

| While the industrial pollution in Vapi is legendary, trash burning contributes significantly to the poor air quality. This fire is on the street just outside the major temple in town. |
 |
| Burning does reduce the volume of trash -- and makes it easier to pull out the recyclable metals. But it still adds lots of smoke and soot to the atmosphere. |

I'm surprised there are any pigs in India -- no one eats pork here! (I do miss having an occasional strip of bacon…)
This one was on the road in a housing subdivision in Vapi. |

| Natural mosquito control (sort-of). This friendly lizard has been hanging out in our kitchen. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't eat enough mosquitoes! |
